She Should Have Asked for a Receipt

There’s nothing okay about those glasses.

It’s not okay that they are asymmetrical, it’s not okay that they are fire-engine red, it’s not okay that they are being worn by a 60-year old woman, it’s not okay that they shield her peripheral vision, it’s not okay that you can’t see her eyebrows, it’s not okay that she has a shelf on her face, it’s not okay that they look like 3D movie glasses, it’s not okay that they require her to tuck in her bangs, it’s not okay that we can’t tell if they have lenses, it’s not okay that we weren’t invited to the masquerade ball, and it’s not okay that she didn’t ask for a receipt when she bought them.
